Ryukyu: Studying the ‘Okinawa’ Name! (22.2.2024)

22/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I was asked about the history and meaning of the name ‘Okinawa’ and ‘Ryukyu’ – both Japanese in origin – but premised upon older Chinese ideograms. At the above link, there is my research regarding the forensic study of the ideograms involved and my conclusions premised upon these findings. The term ‘Okinawa’ appears to be a post-1872 CE construct – at least in regard to the forming of the Japanese Prefecture of that name. Generally, Chinese literature does not use this term – but prefers the far older ‘Lu Qiu’ designation which dates back around 1500-years.

Liverpool: You’ll Never Walk Alone! (21.2.2024)

Usually, the right-wing are highly reactionary against any form of progress – including electrical communication. China offered the West cheap and widespread 5G – but the anti-China racism of the US spread to the UK and EU – and this led to the already built infrastructure (made at China’s expense) being ripped-up and contracts cancelled! Still, whilst predatory capitalism keeps us all in abject poverty, fear and endless warfare – China is progressing at a fast pace. As regards Stephen King, the ‘Cell’ is superb – even though I certainly do not agree with his support for Neo-Nazi Ukraine – or his silence regarding the widespread ‘banning’ of Oliver Stone’s film ‘Ukraine on Fire’ – proving the fascist-nature of the Neo-Nazi Ukrainian Junta (backed by the US)!

DPRK: Comrade Kim Jong Un Test-Fires [Surface-to-Sea Missile] Padasuri-6! (20.2.2024)

20/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Recalling the fact that the ROK puppets let various kinds of battleships intrude into the waters of the DPRK to seriously encroach upon its sovereignty under the pretext of control of fishing boats and ships of a third country and maritime patrol while making desperate efforts to preserve the “northern limit line”, a ghost one without any ground in the light of international law or legal justification, he stressed the need for the DPRK to thoroughly defend the maritime sovereignty by force of arms and actions, not by any rhetoric, statement and public notice.

UN: US “Veto’s” Gaza Cease-Fire – Grants Israel “Licence to Kill”! (20.2.2024)

20/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said today addressing the UN Security Council that Washington continues to provide Israel with “a license to kill”.

He said: “Algeria organized discussions in good faith to produce its draft resolution, but the US in effect issued an ultimatum, asserting that the draft was dangerous as it would obstruct ongoing talks.

“Indeed, Washington continues to insist the Council not interfere in the US plans, he said. The US has vetoed similar draft resolutions in the past, he added.

Emails: Empowering “Trans” from the Left! (20.2.2024)

20/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

But here’s the thing – the trans movement is knocking down this fabricated house of cards and in that respect is Revolutionary. It is Revolutionary because these constructs are Bourgeois and are used to cement capitalist society in place. Reaction left and right complicates this matter. The problem is that trans ideology inevitably hits the harsh reality of biological function – a reality that attracts the greatest reaction. Of course, science can and does (to a certain degree) address this issue in a manner that was not possible during the lifetime of Marx and Engels – although there is a strong argument that both advocated the complete destruction of Bourgeois norms and values – and I would agree. Trans is not new – it just seems new due to its widespread emergence and toleration within Bourgeois society.

China: History of the Dragon Dance! (19.2.2024)

19/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Hakka people – who are originally from Central and Northern China perform the ‘Phoenix’ Dance. A Chinese Phoenix looks like a Dragon (with different and darker colouring) – but has a central horn (like a Unicorn) on its forehead. Where this idea comes from no one is sure – but there is a rumour that Hakka people are a mixture of Han Chinese and the invading European ‘Hunnish’ Tribes that plagued the Northern borders of China thousands of years ago! The Hakka (Guest People) are responsible for the Qin and Han Dynasties and have spent their time migrating forever Southward over the centuries (bringing their Northern language, culture and martial arts with them).
